Ender's Game Movie Review

 Ender's Game


Director - Gavin Hood

Cast : Asa Butterfield as Ender , Harrison Ford as Hyrum Graff and others .

The name sounds so cool. But the movie is a total waste of time. The story is about an alien invasion, where u don't really see any aliens. Even if you do , it's just one and it looks like a dragonfly or a mantid and it turns out to be friendly.
It's like to save the earth teenagers are trained in a simulated environment and Ender (yah i thought it means something else, it's actually the name of a boy )  turns out to be a complete fighter who thinks he can communicate with the aliens and stop them from invading because he keeps getting dreams and images in his tablet games.

In his last round of game after which he will become qualified for battlefield ( he is 15) he hits the total planet at it's core and destroys it. He thinks it's a simulation, until he is told that it was all real. He really destroyed the alien planet. He breaks down thinking if they wud have communicated , then may be he would have been able to stop the destruction and become friendly with the aliens.

He rushes out into the destructed planet, and saves a Queen alien who's mother communicates with him saying that she is dying and she wants the next queen alien to get a new home. He promises to seek out a new planet and give her a new home because he thinks it's his duty now since he unknowingly destroyed their planet and it's population.

He sets out on his journey to find a suitable habitat for the alien queen child and thats the end !

i'd say 2/5  not a movie that lives up to my  expectations at least !
Here is a trailer!  - Zinnia
